For almost 2 years I've been studying with Brother Stacy Hayes on the "In Him" scriptures here at Bradley County Jail. Over this time my spirit has become illuminated to the truth of who I am in Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior. Had I known what I know now, I'd never done what I did to get in here. Just last week on November 29th, 2022, a Federal Judge sentenced me to 110 months in Federal Prison....

I would like to let you know that the card you gave to us has shown me that this place that I am in does not define me. It has also taught me that He is a loving, caring, forgiving God, that is in my life to uphold me, not to tear me down. These In Him scriptures has shown me hope and let me see how loving and kind my Lord and Savior is. Thank you Stacy Hayes! Love, William Greer

Dear Stacy, I want to say how much you've impacted (touched) my life and how you've helped me through Jesus Christ. I have changed my ways and the utter thoughts of my mind. I feel like I'm a new creature in life! I have hope. I feel like my prayers are being answered, maybe not in my order, but for certain on God's time, that may His will be done for my life. All this time is not in vain like it...

She was a single mom working all t...

November 14, 2022 Exactly one and a half years ago I was arrested and began waiting in jail for a trial date. Three days in I found my right relationship with my Savior Jesus. I had been living a life of sin but I had everything, a great family, finances, houses, and cars. I lost it all to find everything in Jesus Christ. One week in jail God blessed me with sending Stacy into my pod. He brought...
